  1. British WWII Tanks and Rail Gauge

    I've recently been reading David Fletcher's The Great Tank Scandal and re-reading a couple of favourite threads here - The Forge Of Weyland and A Blunted Sickle - and the problem has arisen yet again of the obsession with the ability to transport tanks via the entire(?) UK rail network. Which...

  2. No Spitfire AND no Bf109?

    I've found some threads where one or the other is not developed, but not both. Assuming Willi Messerschmitt falls out with Adolf, Herman et all, does the He112 get better development and engines? Possibly the 110/210/410 line is stillborn. What replaces them? The FW187 Falke looks like a good...

  3. Operation (whisper it) Wightlion

    I realise I’m treading on thin ice here.

  6. 75mm Firefly?

    Having just watched the “Inside the Chieftain’s Hatch” episode about the Sherman Firefly - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__Y8YJeas4I – I’m amazed they did so well. (And full of admiration for their crews) But this did make me wonder about an alternative. The original plan for the A27 Cromwell...

  7. WI battlecruiser HMS Tiger gets a refit v2 - The Tiger goes south

    My first poor attempt at starting a timeline, so please be gentle. This is a variation on discussions in: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/wi-battlecruiser-hms-tiger-gets-a-refit-and-battles-through-ww-2.406637/ : However, the premise here is that Tiger is sent south in 1939...
